Benthic habitats mapping of the Maltese continental shelf

Data derives from Mariacristina Prampolini's article, published on July 2018. This study presents a multi-method approach to map the marine habitats of the continental shelf off the NW coast of Malta and the E coasts of the Maltese Islands, using predominantly MBES bathymetry and backscatter with ground-truthing in selected locations in the E part only. The main results obtained from these analyses are an automatic classification of the seafloor morphology, a sediment map of the continental shelf of NW Malta and east of the Maltese archipelago and the first full benthic habitat map of the continental shelf offshore E and NW coast of Malta.
